News, News, I said NEWS!!

Whooo hoooo, visa approvals for our sons. Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah!!!! Happy people here in our world. And look, even new pictures of Chase!! I think I see more resemblance to Chloe than I ever have. Isn't he just handsome, our new son Mr. Chase.

We are asking agency to get expedition for the rest of our stuff to get our Travel Approval (TA), asap! We are just a LITTLE anxious here to get to our boys.

Chloe's understanding? Americk say all yes- not Ch*na yet. She knows now that it's a 2 part deal that we have to get approvals from both and she was NOT impressed with the only the first "Americk" approval. Too smart for me, our Chloe. She keeps saying in her best insulting teen drama queen voice "it gonna take next year to get Chance, Chase." OUCH, break my heart. But I say "no way, it's soon"- to which she rolls her eyes and sighs at me. Just like a daughter.Just so you know we do not have a set time to fly, but we have a best guess and we are hoping for April 23rd. Might be wrong but there it is, my prediction. And I still haven't packed. Guess I better get on that? Hubby had the NERVE to ask if I was going to get my hair "cut and styled" for our trip. Is he MEAN or what? I will not, can't make me, if I even suggest it come HIT me, after the burned perm of last year when I lost 8 inches of hair and suffered terrible vanity issues.

Jaxon and Drew update 36% WHOO HOO, it's got to be 100% and we KNOW God is going to provide this somehow! It's getting there.........and soon both our families will be off to bring home our sons, all because we heard a call and faithfully answered, we are being blessed beyond measure. We NEVER could have done any of this without GOD.

Is God calling on you today? Is He just waiting for you to answer to bless YOU with riches money can't begin to measure? He sure is.....listen.........do you hear Him???

I am so happy! I come here a few times a day to check on news. Today I couldn't bear to see that there was still none so I only scrolled down enough to see the date and know that there was still no news. I just had to come look one last time,...and there it was!! I have never met any of you but care so much, I can't think what all of you are going through!

We have 16-year-old girl/boy twins and were planning on adopting but my dh is 14 years my senior and he was too old, now I am too. lol (How rude!) LOL I am so happy to be able to share in your joy!

BTW, we were going to name our daughter Teresa Marie after Mother Teresa and the Blessed Mother. My daughter assures me that when she is an adult, she is going to China to adopt "Our Teresa" and finally bring her home.

Oh and what a great picture. He difinitely is one handsome young man. I am still praying we cross paths in China. How much fun would we have with our boys??? Poor Chloe, we may need to take her shopping for a girls day out!

What a very handsome boy!!! So excited for you!! Can't wait until you are on that plane. I can't imagine how excited and annoyed it's taking so long that sweet Chloe must be. Yes, I am pretty sure it will be us someday again too, getting on a plane to somewhere. Can't wait to find out what God will have up His sleeve for us. (And He has to get my hubby's attention first.) ; )

About Me

I am the wife of Ron, mom of many - we have 4 grown sons, 1 grown daughter. Presently at home 1 homegrown son, 2 sons from China, and 4 daughters from China. We also have been foster parents including teens, special needs siblings and a terminally ill baby who passed away with us. Our adoption journey began with Kat- she came home October 2006 from QinZhou at age 3 and Chloe as a teen, home March 2009 from Henan. Chloe came with a surprise, BROTHERS- we went back for them May 2010. Chloe and Chance are twins. Chase is older brother. Then God brought us Paisley,aged 14 in May 2012--from a disrupted adoption after being adopted from China and then we brought home our last treasure, Phoebe, age 8 in Jan 2013 also from China. Our first adopted children (Kat, Chloe, Chance & Chase) all had the surname "MIN"; Thus the Just a MINute Mom title:) Plus they all say that to me:)
A house full of children, love and never, ever last, our faith in God to get us through each day and give Him full glory in the blessings He has given us with all our precious children.
